" MMA would just be another backyard sport people would have bootlegged videotapes of. Technically and in some aspects, it still is. At least it has elevated from the status of all of those old 'Dog Brother' tapes that floated around in the early 90s. All of that stuff was taped right here in Southern California and surprisingly, they're still around."

I changed my Kilt for the workout segment and put it back on to go to the BBQ (Couldn't have my "gibblies" flying around) . They stated that they are not sure when it will be on the INTERNET. They stated that they get way more hits that route then the "airing". They will inform us by way of Crafty when it is posted.

the fight network will be covering the Beat the Crap Out Of Cancer event that Tyler and I started, they will be interviewing us also about the Dog brothers. there will be a variety of TV and Radio stations at the event as well

I found this clip of 2008 Dog brothers documentary on youtube of ITV in the U.K. Footage taken from same day as the "Fight Club no Limits" footage. I was told it was the same show with a different title. From what I can see, it is a completely different show culled from the same raw footage! This didn't air in the U.S. as far as I know. Can anybody expand on this?

After my 1st Gathering in 2009, I was encouraged to write a brief article on what it was like for a 1st-timer to fight at a Dog Brothers Gathering. I did so, and after it was checked by Crafty Dog, it got posted.

Three years later (meaning Sept. 2012, i.e. this month) I was asked to do an update.

Great article! Read it this morning on a Facebook Share by Gong Fu Dog. That was awesome, thank you!!

Google Books sadly only put up the first issue of Black Belt through December 2004.

Digression: although there are a few holes here and there I've noticed, it's almost complete from the beginning through 2004.

just a guess, old owners allowed google to scan and put up the books for free. the old owners sold to new owners who took over in 2005... i could be wrong though. hoping black belt will allow scanning and free viewing of 2005 onwards

The other national Geo Fight Club? It is titled "Fight Club Asia" At fist glance, I thought it was a continuation of a series born from "Fight Club No Limits" It is not made by the same production company (O.P.) and appears to have no connection with the no limits documentary. Has anyone seen F/C Asia? http://natgeotv.com/asia/fightclub/about

Some people like to make fun of the terms “reality-based self-defense” and “reality-based martial arts.” Because they may not know the roots of the two terms, we're posting this fact sheet.

RBSD is a name that describes those eclectic fighting systems that draw their techniques from various sources (usually traditional martial arts or military combatives) and apply them with a heavy emphasis on the mental components of combat.

No attention is paid to kata, traditional weapons, competition or friendly sparring. Everything is focused down to a pinpoint: survival.

RBSD practitioners think, When a guy with a butcher knife is charging at me, it doesn’t matter if my front kick hits him with the toe of my foot, the ball of my foot or the entire sole of my foot! And it doesn't matter if it's a kung fu kick, a karate kick or a tang soo do kick.

This field includes some of the biggest names in the self-defense world:

The Wikipedia article on Dan Inosanto lists his notable students - most (but not all) names are known to me; seems to me though, that there was a name missing - that of "Marc Denny" - so I have now updated this
